What Others Say
HP ExpressCard TV Tuner
It didn't work - doesn't fit and I didn't know that there was more than one size nor did I ever find one that would fit into my laptop computer. HP doesn't even have the correct one on their website.
It's Okay.
It's an okay tuner. It came with my laptop and I've used it a few times when the other tvs in the house were taken up.
Picture quality leaves leaps and bounds to be desired. But it works and gets the job done. Just.. not really well. I was expecting better.
Everything Worked Great... Until the cable felt apart..
I absolutely love HP ExpressCard TV Tuner for Windows Vista (RM436AA#ABA) except for one small problem. I have had to replace the transition cable (the one between the coaxial and the card) two times now. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but the metal just has fallen off of the end and makes it impossible to use. Also, I find the I only use it from a distance.. otherwise the cord falls out too easily. I'm looking for another option, but replacing the cable is much less expensive then purchasing another product...
HP support for this card is awful
This card doesn't fit the express card slot. It is a bit too small. I purchased this tuner with a new HP pc and it would not stay in the slot causing the computer to not recognize it most of the time!. If you touch it in the slightest bit, it will eject. It can get very hot. HP support is non-existent for HP ExpressCard TV Tuner for Windows Vista (RM436AA#ABA). No software updates, no helpful phone support. I returned it to HP after they could not fix it reliably.
Very solid and useful.
Good product to keep in one place, not necessarily move around with. Very easy to assemble and remove in seconds. High quality but it does get hot so try not to use it for prolonged time.
